Fellowship for external academics

An expert in distributed systems, Professor Vigfusson will work with Professor Chockler to investigate the best way of combining emerging Remote Direct Memory Access hardware technologies with Software Guard Extension technology (which protects computer memory) in order to provide both security and scalability. Their work will benefit from the first-of-a-kind testbed (created at Surrey) combining the two technologies within a single distributed system. As well as leading a deep dive in this topic, Dr Vigfusson will also deliver a TEDx-style talk on ‘Why I teach people how to hack’, and a technical talk on his research.
